| French Onion Soup?
I love french onion soup, but I don't know if it is band-friendly. Anyone know? I am afraid it would stick because of the cheese.

Mmm....cheese, my favorite snack food. The onion soup goes down good. There are so many variations on the recipe too.

It's been my savior when we go out to eat :) Just chew the cheese part well. I've never had a problem with it even with this tight 2nd fill.

One of my favorites! I usually scoop the cheese out if it is in a blob, otherwise it is great!

This is great! French onion soup is my absolute favorite soup! I'm tickled pink that I'll actually be able to eat my favorite food after banding.

I eat it but ask for shredded cheese instead of an entire slice, or I ask for it on the side and cut it into small pieces myself. I have to avoid the bread, but the soup I do ok with. ~Mandy

Yum. I such a fan of French onion soup. I can eat it with no problems. Some times I have to really chew the cheese or it will clump up. Soup is a good healthy filling meal for me. I get filled very fast when I eat it.
